Ugh. If only LIN knew how much I totally dislike them! They have been pulling the same crap with Time Warner Cable for access to WDTN in High Definition for years... Well, we know at least one reason why they have only been #2 in Dayton forever. I'd love to HD-DVR a lot of NBC programs but since I have to watch them in SD, I don't bother watching much of anything on NBC.

At least WHIO (CBS) has local HD news here. :-)

Hey LIN, you are doing such a great job trying to make your product sound like top shelf (when it is clearly not) and since you are making it sound like a "penny per day" is peanuts to a place of business, why not charge local advertisers more to make up that "less than a penny per subscriber" instead of in the end charging your viewers more to watch your stations?

I can not wait for LIN to sell WDTN to any other company that will not be so dumb when it comes to this... They just make themselves look bad even if they make the cable co. look bad as well.

Here is what WDTN's President & General Manager says about it... It sounds like it was prewritten and just fill in "WDTN" where it would say "place station call letters here"

At least I might get a free antenna out of Charter from this though like Medicom did during the Sinclair debacle.]]>Jun 5th 2008 2:19AM
